He criticised her speech as being “full of cliches” and full of false claims against him.
Clinton, after her nomination on Tuesday, appeared in a video noting the historic moment.
Clinton had just been anointed the inheritor of Obama’s legacy with his vigorous endorsement speech, the candidate who could realize the “promise of this great nation”.
“Imagine him in the Oval Office facing a real crisis”, the former U.S. secretary of state and first lady said, as she accepted the Democratic nomination for president early on Friday.
She is expected to hit opponent Donald Trump but also lay out her own vision for America – likely a more positive take on the country than her GOP rival, and more in the style of President Obama’s speech Wednesday night.
Clinton didn’t speak in 1992 when her husband was first nominated as a presidential candidate.
The real estate mogul did not appreciate Clinton knocking his ability to deal with a national campaign.
She later took a shot at one of Trump’s comments from the Republican convention in Cleveland last week by telling the audience they shouldn’t “believe anyone who says, ‘I alone can fix it'”.
In a statement last night, the Republican nominee’s campaign called her remarks “an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric”, saying the speech was “delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today”.

Donald Trump wants to divide Americans from each other and the world, Clinton said. Calling her nomination a milestone on America’s “march toward a more flawless union”, Clinton presented herself as an experienced leader in volatile times who can unify the country. And to all of your supporters here and around the country: I want you to know, I’ve heard you. “We have to decide whether we will all work together so we can all rise together”.
